Yesterday's Projects

Yesterday was designated "House of Boy and Girl Cellar Reorganization Day". We picked up a bunch of new bottles in St. Louis, so we had to find somewhere to put them. We have a fridge designed for long term aging that keeps bottles at about 55 degrees, and then we have some racks set up in the basement for the rest. We occasionally have to rearrange what goes where when we pick up new stuff, and yesterday was that day. It took most of the afternoon and evening.



We took a break in the middle of it all to try a new recipe for pork sugo. It's basically a slow cooked tomato sauce that's loaded with other veggies (carrots, onion, celery, mushrooms, etc.), but we served ours over polenta with a dollop of ricotta instead of over pasta. It came out really tasty, but it's a bit ugly to look at. I pulled the recipe from this month's "Metropolitan Home" magazine.
